A Google and Blogger Thanks...




As I approach one year of blogging, and am thinking of an anniversary post of sorts, I am also musing about how Blogging is such a unique medium... The digital world seems 'elemental' to me at times... It seems important to me to acknowledge that Google & Blogger have committed to and provided for such 'giving back' to the Internet community; while providing access, means, and opportunity for those of us adventurers to connect with each other...
Read their history on their site: Three friends, starting with a unique idea, facing adversity, and then turning an interesting project into an amazing adventure journey of their own...
The Blogger Team at Google have a vision of: "Helping people have their own voice on the web and organizing the worlds information from the personal perspective."
This certainly allows for another whole level of fellowship...
A simple example is this journal of mine, with its potential links, comments, and formats, that Blogger provides. I never would have become part of the connectedness and experiences of the Summit Stone 'finders' who choose to share their stories here, nor the many other adventurers who visit and comment, or even link back to their own sites...
The Blogger Team is on a climb, a journey, an adventure, of their very own making...
As in the Scottish mountain route image of 'Rest and Be Thankful' above, they deserve a moment of pause to appreciate their efforts...
My thanks to the Bloggers at Google...
